B&W: Can you clarify the rumor that Michael had in 1993 composed the music for Sonic 3 video game, for which you havel been credited?

Buxer: I've never played the game so I do not know what tracks on which Michael and I have worked the developers have kept, but we did compose music for the game. Michael called me at the time for help on this project, and that's what I did.
And if he is not credited for composing the music, it's because he was not happy with the result sound coming out of the console. At the time, game consoles did not allow an optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music...

B&W: One of the surprising things in this soundtrack is that you can hear the chords from Stranger in Moscow, which is supposed to have been composed later...

Buxer: Yes, Michael and I had composed those chords for the game, and it has been used as base for Stranger in Moscow.

Lots of great info from Miyamoto.  Like how Popeye was originally supposed to be the hero in Donkey Kong, and how Miyamoto wanted to name Mario "Mr Video".   Why pipes are green and the thought process behind many aspects of Mario Bros game design.

I found it interesting that, from the very beginning, Miyamoto wanted a single character to appear in all his games.

I don't think the guy even knew what a rick-roll was, or he would have immedately known it was a prank.

"It's the true sequel to Super Mario World we've been clamoring for all these years. ... As the years go by, I appreciate more and more just how great a game Mario World truly was... and NSMB Wii improves on it in every way."

Is it like a store and you spend your points on stuff?  So if you spend them all for a Mario hat, you can't get something else later?

I have noticed a few parts of the site are a little slower now, like when viewing "All Gaming News".  I will try to make some changes soon to speed it up.  Let me know if you find any other issues.

FYI, this is the fourth digibutter server.  Those Bandwidths can't sit still for long!
